Melissa Iacovacci, LCSW

Melissa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), currently working towards her EMDR certification, and is ABFT Level 1 trained. She also holds a certification as a School Social Worker in Connecticut. With over 15 years of experience, Melissa has supported parents, teens, and young adults in both public school and private practice settings. Currently, she supervises the clinical intake team at a large behavioral healthcare company.

Her passion for helping teens and young adults began during her collegiate internship at a local alternative high school, where she recognized the importance of providing them with the support they need to succeed. Melissa’s approach is grounded in attachment-based, relational, motivational interviewing, and strengths-focused methods. She values active listening and offers non-judgmental support, with a particular focus on how trauma affects the body and mind, mindfulness, and attachment.

Melissa is a strong advocate of Wonder’s model, which emphasizes family systems work while also ensuring teens and young adults feel supported. She believes that helping parents connect with their children, while also focusing on their own growth, is essential for lasting change.

Outside of work, Melissa enjoys spending time with her family, including her 14-year-old daughter, who recently started high school, and their two Cavapoos. She loves meditation, taking long walks while listening to podcasts, reading, attending Yankees games, and watching tennis.
